315073 - Add interface to manage/uninstall/view installed extensions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 272429

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050919

I have several Mozilla extensions installed, but there is no obvious way for me to see exactly which extensions are installed or to uninstall them.  (This is especially important for buggy extensions which no longer function correctly after an upgrade.)  Please add a user interface which displays all installed extensions and information about them, and gives the user the ability to remove selected extensions.

I believe that there is an extension which itself provides this functionality (ExtensionManager), but IMHO this feature is critical enough that it should be part of the core distribution.

Reproducible: Always

The Extension Manager is a feature used in firefox and thunderbird. There are plans to port it to SeaMonkey, but at the moment probably noone can say how difficult this really is and how long it will take.

If you ask concerning the official Mozilla Suite, there will never be anything like this in it, since there are only security fixes for the 1.7.x branch and nothing more.
